PROACTIVE inspections

Bed bugs can be introduced into properties through travel, luggage and personal belongings. 

In environments where guests or residents frequently change, infestations can develop before visible signs are noticed.

Regular inspections help ensure that infestations are identified at the earliest possible stage, allowing swift action to be taken.

During a preventative inspection the handler and detection dog systematically check rooms and communal areas for the scent of bed bugs.

Inspections typically focus on:

• Guest rooms and sleeping areas
• Mattresses and bed frames
• Furniture and soft furnishings
• Communal seating areas

If the dog identifies the scent of bed bugs the handler will investigate the location and advise on appropriate next steps.

Preventative inspection programmes are commonly used by:

• Hotels and hospitality providers
• Student accommodation providers
• Housing associations and landlords
• Care homes and residential facilities
• Property management companies

• Early identification of infestations             
• Reduced treatment costs
• Protection of business reputation
• Minimal disruption to guests or residents
• Proactive pest management
